LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
Importance and Extent of This Branch of
Government Work.

Government work.
From time to time throughout the
GEAR the daily press gives an account
of a shipwreck, and in most cases this
account includes more or less de-
tailed history of the efforts of the crew
of some life-saving station to rescue
from the angry sea the imperiled pas
sengers and sailors. These stories are
read and soon forgotten except by the
few who took part in the struggle. or
possibly by some writer of romance
who finds in them the best possible
material for his work. But when these
brief histories are brought together, as
has been done for the year ending June
80. 1886, in the annual report OF the
Life-Saving Service Bureau of the
Treasury Department, it forms vol
ume of over 500 pages, which gives one
a realizing sense of the Importance and
extent of this branch of Government
work.
The United States Life-saving Service
includes 211 stations, of which loo are
on the Atlantic Coast, 80 on the Lakes,
on the Pacific coast, and one at the
Falls of the Ohio, at Louisville. Ky.
These stations had to do with S22 dis
asters to documented vessels during the
year, involving property valued at
s6. 500, 1876, and 2,726 lives. OF the lives
1859 were saved and "a lost; OF the
property s5,O7s,o7S was saved and
81, 429, O57 lost.
The total expenditure for the service
during the year, including salaries of
officers and clerks in the central office,
was little over $4,000 1t is large
sum, but one which is extremely well
invested in view of the results obtained,
and we believe there is no bureau which
ismore carefully and economically man
aged or which is more deserving OF
public approval and support-Sa"'tsTy

A Sharper's Trick.

A farmer in Alabama sold his farm
to some capitalists who said they were
going to build city on it. He
obligated himself to buy two corner
lots at the public sale of lots and what
they brought was to be credited on the
amount he was to have for the farm.
He found at the sale the capitalists
we're rival bidders for the corner lots
and he had to give 5000 more fer them
than the farm came to. So he gave
all his farm and 5000 for about the
one -thousanth part of his land. That
town didn't boom.
